[Amy SF]

JFC did Americans act this batshit insane when SCOTUS struck down the ban on interracial marriage in 1967? I was only 8 years old, so I don't remember.

People are nuts and crazy anytime there is a change, I think in 30 years from now we will thank them.

Who is acting crazy? I have only seen politicians using this. People seem fine. Of course I don't watch network news because pathetic reporting these days.

Who is acting crazy?

Folks who oppose same-sex marriage. A woman in Arkansas quit her job so that she wouldn't have to give out marriage licenses to same-sex couples, for example.

Cleburne County Clerk Dana Guffey said Monday she has notified the county judge of her plans to resign. She says she has a moral objection to issuing the marriage licenses following Friday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriages nationwide.[/url]

A minister in east Tennessee put up a "No Gays Allowed" sign in front of his hardware store, as another example.

An East Tennessee store owner is using what some call a controversial sign to express his beliefs following the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage.

Also, violent anti-LGBT hate crimes are on the rise.

As expected, there are lots of people who are not happy with the Supreme Court’s ruling last Friday, giving equal marriage rights to same-sex couples across the country. Conservative politicians and organizations immediately lashed out through multiple media channels. Unfortunately, physical attacks have also occurred.

I think this is one of the best, most accurate quotes ever.
"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

This is cute. Jimmy Kimmel asks kids to explain gay marriage.
